DELETE

 

Description: This function allows the user to delete a part with its associated surfaces, lines, and elements. The nodes of a part that are selected for deletion become unreferenced and appear as white asterisks ("*") on the screen.

 

Note: If deleting the CURRENT PART, the user must select a new current part in order to continue model generation.
